Granularity – We have the most comprehensive, up to date database of healthcare professionals across the UK. Plus, we are the only data service who can provide patient market share, at named, hospital and trust level.

People looking to understand high cost drug prescribing insights and trends may find themselves looking at both HSJ and IQVIA data. These resources provide information & insights into prescribing behaviour which are valuable in product forecasting, launch tracking and understanding market position across your product portfolio. SSD from HSJ has some unique strengths.

Specialist Share Data - Transforming data into competitive advantage 

Pricing  SSD is the industry gold standard for secondary care patient level prescribing data. Whilst the investment maybe significant, it is industry competitive and offers in return a level of granularity and customisation that is unmatched.
Indications  SSD highlights performance for high cost drugs, particularly where one drug is prescribed across multiple indications, allowing you to understand evolution of prescribing over time.
Support  SSD's dedicated solutions team are an added benefit of working with HSJ, using their expert data knowledge to help you get the most out of your data, whether it be pointing out micro trends, or cutting the data to fit your specific purposes.
